Million Dollar Listing Star Josh Altman and Heather Bilyeu Are Married. Now it's really official. Josh Altman and Heather Bilyeu are off the market! The Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles stars got married Saturday afternoon in Aspen, Colo. "It's totally family oriented," Josh told Us Weekly of the private ceremony. "It's just really close family and friends and a celebration." Heather added, "Aspen Mountain is the backdrop of the ceremony. We really wanted to... have our decor work with that and showcase the mountain and play up the rustic Aspen vibes." According to the publication, about 80 guests witnessed the couple exchange vows under a traditional Jewish chuppah. The bride wore a Nektaria gown with a long train while guests were able to enjoy hot apple cider and hot chocolate in the moments leading up to the ceremony. Before the show's sixth season started airing, E! News learned that the pair was engaged and ready to move in together. A source confirmed a year later that they had called off the wedding. It wasn't, however, that they had broken up and called it quits. Instead, the celebration would just be happening a little later than expected. Fast-forward to today and one look at the couple's Instagram pages will show a pair in love. Whether enjoying dinner dates with friends or vacationing around the country, these two look more than ready to be husband and wife. "Afternoon spoon sesh with my favorites @thejoshaltman," Heather recently wrote on Instagram while lounging on the couch. Josh later posted, "Perfect photo op with the soon to be Mrs. Altman... #mdlla @bravotv @heatherbilyeu." Congratulations to the happy couple! (Eonline)

Erika Christensen Is Pregnant! Parenthood Actress Reveals Her First Child's Sex on Twitter. Erika Christensen is about to get her own taste of -- wait for it -- parenthood. The Parenthood star has given us not one, not two but three gems in the last 24 hours. Christensen shared adorable photos of her pup on Twitter, and if you managed to peel your eyes away from her four-legged cutie to read the caption, you'd see that she revealed there's a baby on the way!

The groom wore a dark blue tux with a black bow tie and a white rose boutonniere. The two wed near Palm Springs, Calif. Congratulations to the couple! (Eonline)

Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman Split After 3 Years of Marriage: Report. Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman are calling it quits. The couple have decided to go their separate ways and are heading for divorce after three years of marriage, according to Page Six, who first reported the news. The pair have two daughters Olive, 3, and Frankie, who will turn 2 later this month. A source told E! News that the actress and art consultant were facing some troubles in their relationship. "They are living separately. Over the past few months, things seem to be up and down with the couple," the insider told us. "He has not been involved in her company Flower. They seemed also to not be very close or connected as a couple. Drew never spoke bad about her husband, they just seemed very disconnected." Neither seemed to hint at any rockiness within their marriage, however there was a definite absence of the pair on social media. The last post of the couple was on Barrymore's Instagram back in June in honor of their anniversary. With a photo of the duo enjoying a glass of wine at Petit Trois in Los Angeles, Barrymore captioned the photo, "Happy anniversary Mr. Kopelman, cheers to you! I love you and I love our daughters !!!!!!! #threeyears". In December 2014, Barrymore gushed about being married to Kopelman. "I'm very happy," Drew beamed. "Marriage is great and the kids are the best. I know that everyone says you're supposed to treat your spouse as equal as your kids, but I struggle every day of who I love the most. I love them all!" The couple got married in an ultra-secret ceremony back in 2012 at Barrymore's $6 million Montecito, Calif., estate. The 41-year-old actress wore a custom long, white Chanel dress pleated in muslin and organza, created for her by Karl Lagerfeld. The dress, which was accentuated at the waist by a black satin belt, also had flowers embroidered in organza, muslin, tulle and feathers along the skirt of the dress. Sources told E! News at the time that guests enjoyed a pre-ceremony cocktail party on the lawn of Drew's estate before being ushered into the marquee tent for the emotional service, which lasted 45 minutes. The groom's family rabbi, flown in from New York, did the honors. Children of the couple's friends served as flower girls and ring bearers. (Eonline)

Here's How George Clooney and Amal Clooney Make Their Long-Distance Marriage Work. They may be one of the most celebrated Hollywood couples of all time, but even high-profile stars George Clooney and Amal Clooney have to deal with the struggles of long distance just like the rest of us. After hitting the year-and-a-half mark on their marriage, the Oscar winner and international barrister are continuously separated by the distances their work takes them. Amal works as a legal advocate of Doughty Street Chambers in Britain, but could also be called to a case somewhere around the world while George can also be needed virtually anywhere at any given time for a film. Still, in order to keep the flames burning when they're separated by thousands of miles, the twosome sticks to a simple standard. "We have a rule whereby we are never apart for more than a week," the Money Monster actor told Hello! (via UsWeekly). "We also stay in touch via social media, so we try to keep close even if we're in different parts of the world." Wait, so does this mean George and Amal have secret Facebook accounts? *Frantically searching* It does help being two of the biggest names in their given fields -- with plump bank accounts -- to make the distance a bit easier to navigate. "We have a place in London now where it's easy for us to spend a lot of time together and I can work on new film projects -- writing, reading scripts," Clooney continued. "Or we can go to Lake Como or spend time in Los Angeles when I need to have meetings for my acting work, or hang around with some of my friends." While it can be exhausting jetting around between time zones, the actor is happy to be sharing his life with his "good friend." "It takes some planning, but it's actually been working out very well for us," Clooney revealed. "We have a very strong connection and she's an extraordinary woman doing great work. . .We're both committed and share a common concern for causes like the refugee crisis, but what really brings us together as a couple is the fact that we're good friends and we enjoy each other's company." Ultimately, what more could any couple ever ask for? (Eonline)

Snoop Dogg is pursuing a romance with Brandi Glanville. But we're told the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star refuses to date the rapper, because he's still legally married to estranged wife Shante Broadus. Sources said the unlikely couple met when they appeared on Khloe Kardashian's unwatchable FYI chat show, "Kocktails With Khloe," back in January, and have been "talking" ever since. However, in a very un-Housewives-like outburst of propriety, Glanville -- whose ex Eddie Cibrian famously had an extramarital affair with LeAnn Rimes -- has said she won't step out with the "Gin and Juice" singer unless he makes the separation official. Reps didn't respond to our requests for comment. Reports have said that Glanville's dating "Last Comic Standing" comedian Theo Von. (Page Six)

Will Arnett Shares His Struggle With Sobriety. Will Arnett is hilarious on the outside, but many might not know about how dark he can feel on the inside. In the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter, the Arrested Development alum opens up about his struggles with sobriety and how his career has both helped and hindered his progress. Writing, producing and tarring in a semi-autobiographical series titled Flaked, Arnett realized how much the role was affecting him in real life. "It became this tough, uncomfortable process," he tells the magazine. "And because I was putting a lot of stuff about my own life in there, I noticed it really starting to affect my mood and my behavior." His struggles began when he was living in New York City, juggling voice over jobs and flying to Los Angeles for auditions. Although he was making "more money than 95 percent of the people" he knew he found the constant rejection taxing. "I'm so lucky I didn't own a pistol," he says. Arnett turned to a local watering hole for relief. "I could've gone to law school a couple of times over with the time and money I spent in that place," he jokes, adding that his then-girlfriend Missy Yager wasn't happy with his choices. "She'd be like, 'Are you for f -- ing real? You're there every day.' And it would get earlier and earlier. It'd be like 4 p.m., and the weekends would start on Wednesdays." He continues, "And it didn't matter if I was hungover because I could roll out of bed and go do a voiceover. Or at least I'd [tell myself that] at 3 a.m." Eventually Arnett was cast in a series and felt the world was his oyster, but when that same show was canceled, he fell into a deep depression. "I spent four or five months doing nothing and feeling sorry for myself," he tells the publication, adding that a female friend intervened. "I just crumbled. I went to an AA meeting that day." Finally sober, Arnett moved to California for a fresh start, attending AA meetings daily and working full time. But a trip back to New York City changed his life. He met future wife Amy Poehler, who would soon be cast in Saturday Night Live and he would nab the hilarious role of Gob Bluth in Arrested Development. "After years and years of frustration, it was the validation I needed," he says. His career basically launched from there on out, nabbing successful roles in 30 Rock, The Lego Movie, BoJack Horseman and more. But it was his Netflix show, Flaked, and his divorce from Poehler that caused him to stumble. "As I was writing all this s--t [on Flaked] and I start shooting it, I started getting confused about where I was at," he shares. "Hardly anybody knows this," he continues, "but I started drinking again." Arnett tells THR that he has since become sober again, attending meetings whenever he can as long as they don't interfere with his sons' T-ball practices. "I just know where this path goes, and it's a dead end," he says. "I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I'm smart enough to know that this is not where I want to live. And I'm a dad now, a parent first and foremost." (Eonline)

Drew Barrymore Gets a Tattoo of Her 2 Daughters' Names. Drew Barrymore is sporting some new ink, which pays tribute to her littlest loves. The 41-year-old actress debuted late Thursday on her Instagram page a photo showing a new tattoo honoring her and husband Will Kopelman's daughters Olive, 3, and Frankie, who will turn 2 later this month. "Olive and Frankie" is written in simple black print below her wrist. Barrymore, who has other tattoos as well, also shared pics showing her getting inked and then holding hands with her tattoo artist. "Getting a great little lifetime note on my arm," she wrote. Barrymore follows in the footsteps of several celebrities who have tattoos that pay tribute to their children, such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Adele, Julia Roberts, David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, Michael Buble, Heidi Klum, Susan Sarandon and Eminem. "I just love having a family," Barrymore told E! News at the launch of her curated holiday collection for Shutterfly last November. "I love my kids -- I feel so blessed. I feel like I've never been better as a person [than I am] through my family." "Being a mom is everything in the world," she added. "I feel like I was born the day my kids were, and everything in life was like an experiment to learn to apply to them." Barrymore, who made her onscreen debut at age 3 and famously starred in E.T. as a child, had talked to the Today show in 2014 about balancing motherhood and acting. She said she thinks she will act "less and less" because she "finds the hours at this point in my life too difficult with kids." The actress has in recent years focused more on producing and has acted sporadically, appearing in movies such as Blended and Miss You Already. "It's hard to be present when you wake up before them and come home after they've gone to bed," she said. "That's just not the way I want to have this journey with my kids at this point in their life. But maybe when they're older, I will feel differently." (Eonline)

Charlize Theron Reveals Rift With Tom Hardy While Working on Mad Max: Fury Road. Chemistry: You either have it or you don't. In the case of Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy, it actually worked in their favor that they didn't get along. In the latest issue of WSJ magazine, both director George Miller and Theron open up about her relationship with Hardy off-screen while working on Mad Max: Fury Road. "I'm not saying that they were seething right through, but the trajectory of the characters can't help but seep into the work," Miller says of the co-stars. "When they first meet each other, they're trying to kill each other. As the two characters come together out of necessity and rather reluctantly, they have to find a degree of trust. And to some extent that was the trajectory of their relationship as well." But Theron wouldn't describe their interactions quite like that. "From what I hear, he's not like that on every movie -- I hear he's had good experiences," Theron says of her co-star, laughing. "Maybe the movie is what it is because we struggled so much with each other, and those characters had to struggle so much with each other. If we were chum-chum, maybe the movie would have been 10 times worse." For better or for worse, their rocky relationship worked wonders for the movie. Mad Max: Fury Road won six Oscars at this year's Academy Awards and four BAFTA awards. It won several other awards, including Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. This isn't the first time Theron has gone on record about her not-so-great feelings for Hardy. She told Esquire in April 2015 that they "f--kin went at it" while on set. "We drove each other crazy, but I think we have respect for each other, and that's the difference," she explained. "This is the kind of stuff that nobody wants to understand -- there's a real beauty to that kind of relationship." She showed the magazine a gift Hardy left in her trailer as a wrap present, which was a self-portrait he had painted. On the back he left a red handprint and an inscription that read, "You are an absolute nightmare, BUT you are also f--king awesome. I'll kind of miss you. Love, Tommy." This is the epitome of a love-hate relationship. (Eonline)

Shania Twain Is Not Impressed By Ashton Kutcher's Jokes (Even After He Apologizes). Ladies and gentlemen, it takes a lot to impress the one and only Shania Twain. Ashton Kutcher just realized this very important fact after referencing one of her more famous songs, "That Don't Impress Me Much", during an episode of his show The Ranch. It didn't take long for fans to tweet about the show's joke, and it took even less time for the former That '70s Show actor to hop on social media and apologize for any hard feelings. The good news? Neither Shania nor Ashton were taking things too seriously during their Twitter back and forth, but that doesn't mean it didn't make for good reading! "Apologies again, Miss @ShaniaTwain, I have no inhibitions, made no conditions and definitely got out of line," he joked, clearly taking a page from her hit "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" Moments later, the country superstar had this to say back: "Next time you're lonely, don't call on me. Try the operator, maybe she'll be free." Oh, snap! (And yes, you guessed it, these are quotes from her track, "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?") So who got the last word, or lyric, shall we say? "Note to self: Shania Twain... not easily impressed," Ashton quipped. Mic drop... and no, not the Google kind. (Eonline)

Amber Rose can drown out all the critics of her new emoji app by stuffing $100 bills in her ears ... 'cause she just made $4 MILLION off the damn thing. Sources close to Amber say she got a fat check just for signing on with the company that developed the app. That's not all ... we're told the MuvaMoji raked in over $2 million on its opening day, and she's getting a cut of that too. As for haters accusing her of ripping off emojis from Kim Kardashian's app ... Amber's adamant there was no attempt to imitate or copy. We're told she's confident the app perfectly reps her personality -- from the big booties to the stripper pole. (TMZ)

Madonna's fighting a new battle over her children -- she wants them to have the right to live in her ritzy NYC condo while she's on the road. Madge is suing the owners of her apartment building over a new rule put in place years after she signed the lease. Madonna says when she originally signed, the deal was the apartment could be used by her, her spouse, her children, other relatives and even domestic employees. But in April 2014 the owner amended the lease to say the children could only live in the home while she, a spouse or partner was there as well. The rule applies to everyone in the building, not just Madonna. She has 3 minor children -- David, Mercy and Rocco -- and she wants the rule voided so they can stay there when mom isn't home. She also wants clearance for her team of housekeepers and nannies ... who we presume would be taking care of the kids. (TMZ)

"Castle" star Stana Katic and her husband are getting harassed so viciously they've had to call in the LAPD. Law enforcement sources tell us Katic's husband, Kris, went to police to report an IG user who'd been leaving nasty comments on Stana's social media. We're told some of the comments read, "Kris, I hope you die" and "I wish cancer on you and your family." Our source says the harassment started in October, but things got really bad in February when the suspect started making nasty comments about extended family members and their dog by name. Stana and Kris are worried because those names aren't listed publicly. Cops tell us they've determined the suspect is out of country, but haven't made contact with him yet. (TMZ)

Abby Wambach got busted for driving under the influence in downtown Portland late Saturday night. The retired U.S. Women's soccer star was pulled over by Portland cops when she allegedly ran a red light. Officers say she failed field sobriety testing and also a breathalyzer. Police have not said what her blood alcohol level was, but she appears extremely glassy eyed in her mug shot. Portland PD described her as "polite and cooperative" during the arrest. Abby, who retired late last year after winning the World Cup, was booked for DUII (driving under influence of intoxicants), and released on her own recognizance. Just a few days ago, we shot the Olympic hero in Palm Springs where she was partnered with Caitlyn Jenner in a golf tournament. (TMZ)

Frances Bean Cobain had a major case of stranger danger when she caught a man bolting out of her Hollywood Hills house. Law enforcement sources tell us Cobain was home alone, in her bedroom, around 7 PM Wednesday ... when she heard a noise. When she went out to check, she saw a guy running out her front door. We're told the scary encounter was over as quickly as it began. The suspect escaped without taking anything. Cobain immediately called police to investigate, and told officers she did NOT recognize the perpetrator. Cops are still on the case, but so far ... no suspects. (TMZ)

Charlie Sheen's ex-fiancee Brett Rossi is so scared of the actor she asked the cops to help keep him away. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Rossi showed up at an LAPD station Thursday and reported some sort of incident that went down with her and Sheen. We're told cops filed for an emergency 7-day restraining order against Charlie for Rossi. Our source says a judge granted the order Friday and Rossi plans to have the order extended next week. It's unclear at this point what happened between Brett and Charlie. (TMZ)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Prince George and Princess Charlotte Save the Day in New Children's Book All About Queen Elizabeth's Crown. They've inspired clothing lines and helped sell out winter wear. Now, Prince George and Princess Charlotte are busy helping their great-grandma pick out a stylish crown in a brand new children's book, The Birthday Crown. In the freshly penned picture book commemorating Queen Elizabeth II's upcoming 90th birthday, the two children arrive to make suggestions for what should adorn their "gan-gan's" head on her special day. Written by Davide Cali with colorful illustrations by Kate Slater, the book follows the royal monarch through Buckingham Palace as she tries to select the perfect head piece with unique ideas from the royal jewelers, gardeners and other staff. Will she wear fruit? "Not very regal." A bird cage? Not quite stately. A disco ball? Not her style. Ultimately, little George picks out the perfect material -- a crown made of paper handcrafted by his truly. Everyone say awwww! While Prince George saved the fictional day, Princess Charlotte also shares a kinship with her great-grandmother in real life. "The Queen, she was really thrilled that it was a little girl, and I think as soon as we came back here to Kensington, she was one of our first visitors here," Kate Middleton said of her daughter's birth in an interview for ITV's television special, The Queen at Ninety. "I think she is very fond of Charlotte, always watching what she's up to." Though the toddler gave the Queen a special gift in the picture book, it is her royal highness who typically offers the kids something special on their visits. "She always leaves a little gift or something in their room," the duchess added. "That just shows, I think her love for her family." (Eonline)

Congrats, Caitlyn Jenner! I Am Cait Wins Outstanding Reality Show at GLAAD Media Awards 2016, Ties With TLC's I Am Jazz. Congrats are in order for Caitlyn Jenner and her powerful girl squad! E!'s acclaimed series I Am Cait has tied with TLC's I Am Jazz to win the honor of Outstanding Reality Program at the 27th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. In its applauded first season, the show documented Jenner's transition and her introduction into the world as a transgender woman, including legally changing her name and accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs. Now currently in its second season, I Am Cait follows Jenner and her friends, including trans activists Candis Cayne, Chandi Moore and Jenny Boylan, as they embark on a cross-country road trip to raise awareness for LGBT issues.

When the nominations were released back in January, Jenner quickly shared her excitement over the recognition on social media. She tweeted at the time, "We are proud to be nominated for a @GLAAD Media Award! #glaadawards." GLAAD CEO and President Sarah Kate Ellis also released the following statement along with the announcement: "For nearly three decades, the GLAAD Media Awards have propelled inclusion in media and driven LGBT acceptance forward. This year's nominees have raised the bar for creating thoughtful and diverse LGBT images and storylines, deepening audiences' understanding of LGBT people and accelerating acceptance across the world."

A used Fiat just sold for $300,000 -- and, no, this is not an April Fools' joke. Auction site Charitybuzz just sold one of the Fiat 500 Lounge hatchbacks that Pope Francis cruised around in during his trip to NYC and D.C. last year. Its new owner, ironically, is a Jewish businessman named Miles Nadal. Nadal tells TMZ he won't actually be driving the car -- it'll go in his personal automotive museum along with the other 130 cars and motorcycles he's got in there. And get this ... the car purchase comes with a free holy blessing! We're told Nadal will meet with either Cardinal Timothy Dolan at St. Patrick's Cathedral or the Archdiocese of New York to bless the Fiat. Retail value for a non-Pope Fiat is about $24,000. Mazel tov, Miles! (TMZ)

Amanda Bynes ''Excited About the Future'' as She Marks 30th Birthday: Reflecting on the Lessons She Taught Us All. Though sometimes it seems like forever ago, Amanda Bynes isn't that many years removed from TV stardom, major movie premieres and the whole young-Hollywood scene. But more recently there was that incredibly scary time -- for herself, for those close to her and for the millions more who had just loved her onscreen for years -- as she battled mental illness, ran into a series of legal issues and otherwise lost control of her life. A talented star gone down an extremely dark path, seemingly out of nowhere. Yet here she is, celebrating her 30th birthday, steadily piecing her life back together after a tumultuous period in which she became a walking question mark, as the world -- so shocked by what had all of a sudden become of Amanda Bynes -- waited to see what she'd do, say or tweet next. "She is doing great," her family's attorney, Tamar Arminak, tells E! News. "She is happy and healthy, and excited about the future." Bynes, who enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in spring 2014, just completed the winter quarter of her second year at the Los Angeles campus. "She seems to still be doing great and seems really focused on school," a source tells us. And that's all welcome to hear, especially since the memory of the crisis that consumed Bynes not that long ago is still so haunting. Her transformation from the bubbly star of All That, What a Girl Wants, What I Like About You and more "oh yeah, I forgot about that one -- I love that one!" favorites to wildly unpredictable troubled starlet was shocking; but moreover it proved too disturbing to chalk up to just another actress having issues. Eventually, as she simultaneously courted and slammed the attention her odd behavior attracted, it became apparent that she really needed help. In fact, the scrutiny of Bynes' every move ultimately served as an eye-opening lesson about the fine line between watching a celebrity-driven spectacle unfold and bearing witness to a truly sad state of affairs. Her off-kilter tweets about sex (one in particular starring Drake comes to mind), other people's ugliness and laments about her own body were both engrossing (she attracted a slew of famous Twitter followers) and a heartbreaking example of sadness on parade. Then there was the desire to look more like Blac Chyna and the onslaught of smoldering, oft-shirtless selfies. And all this was after a spate of traffic violations caused her to lose her driver's license in 2012, in hindsight a sign of a bigger problem to come. She announced that she had given up acting to pursue a career in fashion and she relocated to New York, where life only got weirder. She was arrested for allegedly chucking a bong out of her apartment window in May 2013 and then moved back to L.A.; two months later she was hospitalized after setting a fire in the front yard of a neighbor's house in her parents' Thousand Oaks, Calif., neighborhood. Though it was sad to hear of Bynes on a 5150 psychiatric hold, actually being forced to get help marked the turning point back to stability. In the end, medical care and family support were the main factors that got her back on track, but perhaps knowing that everybody was watching gave Bynes an outlet for feelings that she otherwise would have had to suffer alone. It actually took some strength to put herself out there and then deal with the haters who piled on alongside those who only wanted her to get better. Bynes even shared her condition with the world, later revealing she'd been diagnosed as bipolar and manic depressive and was on medication. Perhaps she did so unintentionally, but she had laid bare the symptoms and the incomprehensibly complicated journey of mental illness. She started a conversation and put another relatable face on an issue that affects so many. Bynes spent nearly six months in residential treatment, she got her driver's license back in April 2014, and she started having a private life again. She made good on her dream of pursuing fashion, starting classes at FIDM. She didn't let a September 2014 DUI arrest derail her progress. Her social media posts are just... regular, now. A Christmas greeting showed her looking happy and healthy. Bynes even hit her first red carpet event in years last August, all smiles with Michael Costello, who designed her dress, at the SOAR Los Angeles Gala. Fast-forward to today, and it's not just that she's "bouncing back" or "looking great" or "doing well." Something extraordinarily scary happened to Amanda Bynes, something that, unless she chooses to share her story, we'll never really know all about. And even then, we'll never truly understand how it felt for her. We'll also never know just how close this story came to going the other way. What we do know is that Amanda Bynes is only 30, and she again has the chance to live the life she wants. For her birthday, we're wishing that she stays happy, healthy and excited about the future -- because the people who never stopped rooting for her success will always think she deserves all that, and more.

Cara Delevingne Tweets About Her Battle With Depression. Cara Delevingne didn't quit modeling -- she simply needed a break. The model-actress turned to Twitter to open up about the hiatus in her modeling career. Many reported that she had quit modeling to focus on her acting career, but it turns out that isn't the case. "Can we just set the record straight...I never said I was quitting modeling. I do not blame the fashion industry for anything," she began her series of tweets. "I suffer from depression and was a model during a particularly rough patch of self-hatred." Her candid confession comes on the heels of her new modeling campaign for Saint Laurent, which some reported as her "return" to modeling. Following the release of her images, she simply tweeted, "I never quit." In the midst of her candid confession she explained why she backed away from modeling. "I am so lucky for the work I get to do but I used to work to try and escape and just ended up completely exhausting myself," she continued. "I am focusing on filming and trying to learn how to not pick apart my every flaw. I am really good at that." Delevingne has appeared in Paper Towns and plays Enchantress in the upcoming movie Suicide Squad. Shortly after her "word vomit" ended, the British model posted a thoughtful quote on Instagram and captioned it, "truth." In an interview with London's The Times in August, Delevingne admitted that having to pose nude or sexually made her uncomfortable given that it starts at such a young age. "I am a bit of a feminist and it makes me feel sick," she told the paper. "It's horrible and it's disgusting. [We're talking about] young girls. You start when you are really young and you do, you get subjected to... not great stuff." Her demanding schedule also took a toll on her, mentally and physically. She developed psoriasis, a visible skin affliction that had to be covered up by makeup. "People would put on gloves and not want to touch me because they thought it was, like, leprosy or something," she admitted. "It is a mental thing as well because if you hate yourself and your body and the way you look, it just gets worse and worse." (Eonline)

Victoria exclaimed as the 30-year-old actor greeted the group, as seen in a YouTube video. Donning maroon and yellow Gryffindor scarves, the three checked out attractions such as the Hogwarts Express and the animatronic entrance to the Chamber of Secrets with James. They also walked down Diagon Alley. James also presented the kids with wands and Adam was seen riding a Firebolt broomstick. "That's what magic means to me, the bond with family," Daniel said. James said in a statement he had "such a great time with Adam, Victoria and Daniel, showing them around the film sets, telling them stories about when we shot the films and even teaching them a few magic tricks." "It's easy to see how knowledgeable and passionate they all are about Harry Potter, true super fans!" he added. The kids, whose family runs a Los Angeles charity that helps child victims of bullying, had never left the United States before their trip. "My mom used to read the books to me and my brother and sister even before we were born," Adam said in the statement. "When I think of Harry Potter, I always think of London. Our trip was so much fun, especially meeting James Phelps, and I really wish I had a real life Firebolt broomstick so that I can fly back to London whenever I want!" James and his twin brother Oliver Phelps played the fun-loving, prankster wizard twins Fred and George Weasley in all eight Harry Potter movies, the last of which was released in 2011. James has since then starred in small projects such as horror films, an episode of the British crime drama Silent Witness. He and Oliver also both filmed a comedy movie titled Own Worst Enemy and the TV film Danny and the Human Zoo. In addition to the regular and VIP Warner Bros. Studio Tours, enhanced Harry Potter experiences are also available at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood, the latter of which opens on April 7.

Kourtney Kardashian Just Caught Scott Disick in Bed With Kendall Jenner (Um, What?!) What did we just see?! Our heads are still spinning after Kourtney Kardashian's latest Snapchat story, so let's go over exactly what went down. In the videos, the mother of three documents herself looking around her home for Kendall Jenner. Kylie Jenner, who happens to be lounging in Kourt's foyer, tells her to look in the office because she hasn't seen her. Kourtney then takes the camera with her while she checks out multiple rooms in her home before stumbling on a guest bedroom. "Wait, who is she in here with?" Kourtney is overheard saying before catching a glimpse of Kendall and Scott Disick snuggling up next to one another in bed! Yep, you read that right. Kourt immediately goes "what the... " while she chases Scott out of her home and tells him, "You're so sick, you're so inappropriate, like, what is wrong with you?" Scott bursts through her front gate and storms onto the driveway before turning around and shouting, "April Fools!" Alright, you got us good, we were panicked for a moment there. But phew. Leave it to Kourtney, Scott and Kendall to flip any of those old tabloid rumors on the heads. This isn't the first time that the friendly exes have pranked us on Snapchat. In fact, last week they joked around with fans and playfully told the camera that they were getting back together. "So, um, we wanted you guys to hear it first," Scott says to the camera, adding, "We are getting back together." Scott then tries to plant a kiss on Kourtney but she pulls away and yells "No!" while laughing. Hilarious, you guys. (Eonline)

Taylor Swift Shows Off Her Rapping Skills in Apple Music Ad. Oh, you don't know? Taylor Swift can bust a sick flow. The singer has partnered with Apple Music for their new ad campaign, and the first glimpse is quite the memorable one. In the video titled "Taylor vs. Treadmill," Swift ditches her usual angelic vocals to spit some bars. For those who may have forgotten, Swift and Apple have an interesting relationship. Last year, the singer published an impassioned letter to Apple Music that criticized the company for not compensating artists for music that is streamed during the service's three-month free trial period, calling the practice "shocking, disappointing and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company." Then, just a few hours after the letter went live, Apple announced that they would in fact start paying artists royalties during the 90-day period. Whoa. Shortly after that magical moment, after months and months (and months) of withholding her music from streaming services, Taylor announced that she was going to put her album 1989 on Apple Music. "After the events of this week, I've decided to put 1989 on Apple Music...and happily so," she wrote on Twitter at the time. "This is simply the first time it's felt right in my gut to stream my album. Thank you, Apple, for your change of heart." And the rest was history a rap. (Eonline)

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne Gives Zero "F--ks" in Her "How Many" Music Video. Erika Jayne DGAF. Not up on your slang? That's OK. In her new music video "How Many," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star spells it out in the chorus, singing, "How many f--ks do I give? How many f--ks do I give? None, Not one/ Zero, zero, zero, done!" E! News obtained an exclusive clip of Erika Jayne's "How Many" video, which was directed by is Mikey Minden. We've censored the language, but depending on your place of employment, some of the dance moves might still be NSFW. The costumes, which include a money-print dress and golden goddess ensemble, are rather risque as well. Erika Jayne, who is signed under the label Pretty Mess, pops off a number of lyrical gems in this song. One of our favs? "Diamonds and Chardonnay, See you next Tuesday." (Sorry if you don't get that message, but we're not decoding it for you.) Watch an exclusive clip of Erika Jayne's "How Many" music video. The full song will premiere later this month on iTunes.

Mariah Carey wants to make something very clear -- her ex-staff members didn't walk out on her ... she showed them the door, and she couldn't be happier about the changes. Mariah tells TMZ ... "I dismissed a majority of my team because I discovered that they didn't have my best interests at heart. My new team, including manager Stella Bulochnikov are the top of the line in the entertainment business and more importantly in my life and I am now much more financially successful and more organized than in the past." Mimi made sweeping changes during the last month. There were reports several former staffers quit, but MC says she's the one who pulled the trigger. One of her reps tells us they now have procedures in place to make sure everyone on the team puts Mariah's interests ahead of their own. Mariah's digging the new system. She says she's loving shooting her musical documentary right now while touring Europe, and adds ... "My fiance James Packer just came to visit me in Denmark. And he had no problem being on camera for the show with me... and we had a great time." THAT is a (multi) billion dollar grin. (TMZ)

Electronic dance music master Joel Zimmerman says West Coast Vape Supply is intentionally infringing on his deadmau5 trademark, according to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday in California. The deadmodz electronic cigarette line is trying to capitalize on Zimmerman's fame, and according to the lawsuit the products "overlap with, are closely related to deadmau5's Goods and Services and/or represent a natural zone of expansion for deadmau5, and such goods are or would be marketed and sold to the same types of consumers through the same channels of trade." Zimmerman is suing for trademark infringement and false association, and is seeking statutory and punitive damages and a permanent injunction to ban West Coast Vape from using deadmodz. His attorney Irene Lee sent a statement to The Hollywood Reporter saying they're suing to protect the artist's trademark and his fans. "Our client faces unscrupulous people trying to take advantage goodwill associated with his intellectual property and his fame," Lee writes. "We are grateful for our fans and believe it's our obligation to make sure our fans are not duped into buying things that deadmau5 did not authorize." The lawsuit claims deadmau5 is not only a trademark, but a brand Zimmerman has been building for more than a decade. It also explains the origins of his on-stage persona. In 2002 Zimmerman took his computer apart and found a dead mouse inside. When he posted the story online, people started referring to him as "dead mouse guy." He embraced the new nickname and tried to change is screen name to "deadmouse" but found the Internet Relay Chat channel he was using limited usernames to eight characters. Using leet spelling, he became deadmau5. Not only is the name "deadmodz" similar to "deadmau5," Lee argues, but also the vape company copied the bubble font Zimmerman uses in his logo. Lee shared this photo, which is an exhibit to the suit: In an effort to avoid the litigation, Zimmerman's transactional attorney Dina LaPolt sent several letters to Alham Benyameen, the principal of West Coast Vape. After an initial cease and desist letter, sent on Feb. 5, Benyameen substantially changed his website and logo design. In response LaPolt made it clear that wasn't good enough and tried again to settle out of court in a Feb. 19 letter. "Please understand that your attempted changes do not negate that fact that you have violated and continue to violate our client's rights, and thus are liable for, among other things, trademark and copyright infringement and attendant damages," LaPolt writes. "In fact, your changes only highlight your acknowledgement and concession of wrongdoing, which admittedly is willful, knowing and intentional." When they didn't respond, Lee prepared the suit. "Instead of conceding their wrongdoing and agreeing to comply with our requests, they refused to acknowledge deadmau5's intellectual property rights and their wrongdoing, necessitating this legal action," she writes in her statement to THR. "We intend to vigorously protect deadmau5's rights." West Coast Vape did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Billboard)

Guns N' Roses are about to rock the City of Angels with an impromptu concert ... and cops are assembling on the Sunset Strip for the mad dash to get a seat. Law enforcement tells us they have a ton of Sheriff's deputies setting up around the old Tower Records ... in anticipation of the GNR announcement at 10 AM. We're told there will be 250 tickets given away at noon for the concert -- first come, first serve. Cops are expecting hundreds of fans to descend upon Tower Records when the announcement is made. It's still unknown when and where the actual performance will go down. (TMZ)

John Lennon's Grammy for a Beatles classic is up for auction, but no one will ever be able to buy it ... if the Grammys get their way. NARAS, the Academy that hands out Grammys, is suing over the 1966 Song of the Year trophy awarded to Lennon for "Michelle." Gotta Have Rock and Roll put it up on the block ... and opening bid is $40k. So far, no bids ... but the Academy says it doesn't matter because its rules state no Grammy can be sold. We're told Grammy winners sign a contract clearly stating they cannot give away or sell their Grammy statue or the Grammys can repossess it. This Grammy was originally sold at a Christie's rock 'n' roll memorabilia auction back in 2004 ... it's unclear how Christie's got the trophy or why the Academy didn't put a stop to it then. Looks like this time they aren't gonna let it be. (TMZ)

Canadian avant garde circus troupe Cirque de Soleil filed a lawsuit against Justin Timberlake on Thursday over allegations that the singer and producer Timbaland (born Timothy Mosley) sampled a portion of one of Cirque's original compositions without permission on his 2013 song "Don't Hold the Wall." According to a Reuters report, in the federal lawsuit filed in federal court in New York, Cirque claims that the song from Timberlake's 2013 double album, The 20/20 Experience, sampled from the song "Steel Dream," which appeared on Cirque's 1997 album Quidam. The suit, which also named Sony Music Entertainment, co-writers J-Roc and James Fauntleroy, Universal Music and WB Music Corp., is seeking a minimum of $800,000 in damages for copyright infringement. Billboard has reached out to representatives for Timberlake and Cirque du Soleil for comment. In February, Timberlake, Will.i.am and Sony Music were sued by the sister of disco artist Perry Kibble over claims that the hook, rhythm and melody of Timberlake's song "Damn Girl" were copied from Kibble's 1969 composition "A New Day is Here At Last."

Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis Reunite in the 1966 Ford Thunderbird from Iconic Film Thelma & Louise. Geena Davis will forever be the Thelma to Susan Sarandon's Louise. And the pair proved just that during a real-time throwback Thursday when they reunited in their 1966 Ford Thunderbird after 25 years of filming their iconic movie Thelma & Louise at the Good Morning America studios in New York City. Sarandon, 69, sported a silver satin Teamsters bomber jacket and a pair of classic aviators, while Davis, 60, looked ever so chic in a light pink form-fitting dress. But this isn't the first time the pair excited fans with a reunion-and they just may be the selfie originators! "Inventors of the #selfie at it again. #ThelmaAndLouise," Sarandon tweeted last year with the images, of them then and now. (People)

John Boyega and Taron Egerton were also among the winners of the public choice honors, while Helen Mirren received a lifetime achievement award. Tom Hiddleston is officially Britain's best loved actor, after winning top honors at the British National Film Awards Thursday night. The honors, voted on by the British film and TV viewing public, are a sort-of people's choice version of the better-known BAFTAs. Hiddleston won best actor for his performance in High-Rise, Ben Wheatley's adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel set in a dystopian England of the late 1970s. The actor has been riding a wave of popularity recently thanks to the success of BBC spy drama The Night Manager, in which he stars. Star Wars' John Boyega won best breakthrough performance in a film while Taron Egerton, star of Kingsman: The Secret Service and the recently-released Eddie the Eagle, won the best newcomer prize. Kingsman also took best international film nod, with Samuel L. Jackson winning best supporting actor. In one of the night's major surprises, Spectre lost out as best British film, beating by Rise of the Footsoldier Part 2, a crime thriller from director Ricci Harnett based on the real-life exploits of British gangster Carlton Leach. The film's exec producer, Sean O'Kelly of Carnaby International, said that award was a "huge honor" for the London-based sales and distribution banner. Helen Mirren, who was given the event's lifetime achievement award, accepted her honor from New York. "I am proud to be a member of the National Film Awards winners list and thank you to all the movie fans for voting for me," said the Oscar-winning actress. (Hollywood Reporter)

Gwen Stefani Performs on SNL and Blake Shelton Makes a Plea. Blake Shelton was all about Gwen Stefani's SNL performances, particularly one rather unusual one. The 46-year-old singer made a cameo in a sketch that saw host Peter Dinklage, also 46, play an '80s-style New Wave singer who sings a song titled "Space Pants" at a restaurant, which distracts a group of mobsters, made up of cast members Beck Bennett, 31, Bobby Moynihan, 39, Jon Rudnitsky, 26, and Pete Davidson, 22. Stefani then joins Dinklage onstage, wearing sexy "space shorts." "Hey @gwenstefani... Please wear space pants when you get back home!!! Ha!!!!" tweeted Shelton, 39. During the episode, the singer also performed her new "Make Me Like You," which is about she has confirmed is about Shelton, and "Misery," which appears to be about both him and her ex Gavin Rossdale, 50. "Wow... @gwenstefani performance of 'misery'.. Brilliant," Shelton said on Twitter. Stefani and Shelton, who co-starred as coaches on The Voice, have been dating since at least last November and have often expressed support for one another on social media. This marked Stefani's fifth appearance on Saturday Night Live and Dinklage's SNL hosting debut. Check out more highlights from the episode. After the show, Stefani attended an SNL after-party, wearing a risque, semi-sheer outfit made up of a black bustier, a super short, multi-colored asymmetrical mini skirt and ruffled mesh overlay, paired with pointed black stiletto pumps. Shelton was not spotted. He is due to perform Sunday at the 2016 ACM Awards, which take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Shelton is not nominated for any of the awards this year. It is unclear if Stefani will join him at the ceremony, which airs on CBS at 8/7c. (Eonline)

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Is About to Make TV History. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is about to make television history. FXX announced Friday that it has renewed the sitcom for not one but two more seasons, 13 and 14, tying for the record of longest-running live-action comedy in television history (with The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, which ran from 1952 to 1966). The show, which just completed its eleventh season, was already renewed for season 12, which will debut in early 2017. That means three more years of your favorite possibly racist, definitely screwup bar owners Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Frank (Danny Devito), who somehow manage to keep Paddy's Pub open despite actively sabotaging it on a practically daily basis. "If anyone doubts the power of a camcorder and a dream, just look at It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which was a DIY backyard pilot when Rob, Charlie and Glenn brought it to FX and will go down in TV history as one of the most loved and enduring comedies," said FX Networks and FX Productions Original Programming President Nick Grad. "Few shows make it this far or have such devoted fans, and we owe it all to the creative vision and great humor of the creators and cast who keep Sunny fresh and inventive every season." Season 11 ended with a two-part episode that saw the gang go to hell after committing all manner of sins aboard a Christian cruise -- or just in an insurance claims adjustor's office telling him their story after the boat sank. Typical. (Eonline)

Sharknado 4 Is Taking on Star Wars and We're Actually OK With It. Shark Vader is on his way. Sharknado 4 has officially announced its title and premiere date, and Star Wars fans will surely get a kick out of it: Sharknado: The 4th Awakens is the cult franchise's latest installment's title, Syfy unveiled on Friday, and it's likely going to be the most clever thing about the TV movie, which will premiere on Sunday, July 31 at 8 p.m. Set to return are original stars Ian Ziering,Tara Reid(#AprilLives?!) and David Hasselhoff, with Gary Busey, Cheryl Tiegs, Cody Linley, Tommy Davidson, Imani Hakim and Masiela Lusha set to join the shark-infested franchise. Picking up five years after the events of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, which aired last summer, The 4th Awakens will find Fin (Ziering) and the rest of the world enjoying a shark-free existence...until new disasters start occurring. The third movie ended with April's (Reid) life in danger, with the network letting fans determine her fate: "You decide if #AprilLives or #AprilDies," an announcement said, letting viewers vote for what would happen to the character. "We're not done yet." In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Regina, senior vice president of program strategy at Syfy, said the original ending was going to be a happy family moment. But they wanted to turn it on its head. "We needed to do something that was going to keep the audience in jeopardy and want to come back for another Sharknado," Regina said. "That led to the idea that I came up with in having the audience vote. Sharknado, more than anything on television, is a social interaction with the viewers, so we wanted to make it interactive. I'm hoping that we're going to break the Internet this time with the 'April lives, April dies' at the end. I think it's going to be precedent-setting. I can't think of an instance where another network has done something of that nature at the end of an event. Hopefully it's a TV first." Sharknado: The 4th Awakens premieres Sunday, July 31 at 8 p.m. on Syfy. (Eonline)

Netflix's April Fools' Prank Is a Faux John Stamos Documentary, but We Actually Want to See It. Attention! Netflix has just unveiled its next soon-to-be blockbuster hit: John Stamos. In a surprise trailer released early Friday, the digital network announced the upcoming release of a docu-series based on the legendary star, who recently returned to his small screen roots in Netflix's sequel, Fuller House. "So excited about my partnership w @netflix and our new Docu- Mini," he wrote on his Twitter account. "Check out the preview. Full series April 31st." "Netflix and I have partnered up to give you something very special," the Grandfathered star proclaimed in newly released teaser. "Production is underway, but we want to give you a small taste of what's to come." Unfortunately, it will never come to fruition as it's all a big, fat joke. April 31 does not exist. Thanks to the magic inspired by April Fools' Day, Netflix concocted a faux production dedicated to Stamos -- not just the human being, but the human...being. "What is John Stamos? Good question," he says as he narrates the self-centered clip. "Teenage heartthrob. Worldwide brand. What is a star? A bad boy? A good guy?" While we know it's all a hoax, we can't help but feel a little bummed that none of those questions will ever be answered in a docu-series. As a Broadway performer, musician, small screen star and infamous bachelor, Stamos' life would play like the perfect silver screen saga that we wouldn't be able to take our eyes away from. It looks like we weren't the only ones bummed out by the prank. A handful of fans took to Twitter to express their discontent. This may be the start of Netflix's "next level" after all. (Eonline)

The 100 Shocks Again As Someone Makes the Ultimate Sacrifice. Gosh darn you, The 100! We hadn't yet recovered from Lexa's death or Clarke's heartbreak or Titus's death at the hands of the ice nation when we were forced to say yet another goodbye to one of our favorite characters. Lincoln (Ricky Whittle) just sacrificed himself for the sky people after helping Kane escape. Once Pike realized that his soon-to-be-executed prisoners had escaped (thanks to the brilliant and badass Octavia), he called for them to turn themselves in or watch the rest of the prisoners die in their place. Lincoln sent Kane on and turned himself in, so he was executed with a shot to the head while Octavia watched, helpless. Before that even happened, there was the matter of the flame to deal with. In order to prevent Ontari of the Ice Nation from ascending to be the new leader of the grounders (and from then subsequently killing all of Clarke's people), Titus redeemed himself only the slightest bit by handing over the flame -- that piece of AI technology that was in Lexa's neck and is responsible for determining the leader of the grounders -- to her and sending her off to find a potentially better replacement in Luna, the nightblooded leader of a clan across the sea. If you have a really good memory, you might recall that back in season one, Lincoln advised Clarke to take her fellow delinquents to Luna, who would welcome them. They never made it there, but now Clarke is headed there on a mission to save pretty much everyone she knows. In exchange for that move, Titus also paid the ultimate price and was stabbed to death by the angry Ice Nation people. Whittle, who, like Alycia Debnam-Carey before him, is signed on to play a lead in another show, showed his support for the show and its fans on Twitter before the episode aired. While we will absolutely be watching Whittle in Starz' new series, American Gods, Lincoln will obviously be missed tremendously. We can only imagine where the show goes from here. The 100 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on the CW. (Eonline)

I didn't do that and there's a part of me that feels really guilty because, because I felt like I should've been there more." (Eonline)
